    "content": "The only thing that I have seen that is of concern to me, that is not included there, in terms of training is the issue of general information. When I am travelling anywhere in the country and I see a lot of NYS staff being used all over, I always spot a difference. Since some of us are prominent, when I move anywhere in this country, the Kenya National Police will know me and call me Mheshimiwa Millie. The NYS are clueless. I am not saying they must know me but it tells you that there is problem with their general information if they do not know national leaders. They are not only clueless about leaders; they are clueless about a whole lot of things. That tells you that there is something wrong with their training. One of the primary things that we were taught in the NYS is general information. We had Permanent Secretaries, Ministers and different categories of people like the Chief Justice who came to speak to us yet we were from very different backgrounds. That is something that they need to change. I also like the fact that they are going to be used in humanitarian missions. My only challenge is that, under the Bill we are providing that we use them in insurrections. In a situation where they do not have the police or the military training because they have paramilitary training which I also went through, I do not think they are fairly equipped to deal with such cases or to be dispatched for war. I do not have military training to talk but at least I have paramilitary training and I know I am not equipped for war, neither am I equipped to deal with police issues. I know times may have passed, but I know what training we went through. It does not equip you to do the kind of things that we are saying they can do here. What we can provide here is, either you enhance the training for them or for them to move to the next level, they need more enhanced training. Otherwise they will be unleashed on the public and they will be doing terrible things because they do not have the requisite training."
